Big old bullfrog

... When the marshy meadows glimmer
With a misty, purple shimmer,
And the twilight flush is changing into shade;
When the firefly lamps are burning
And the dusk to dark is turning,--
Then the bullfrogs chant their evening serenade ...
~Joseph Crosby Lincoln

Shiloh National Military Park

 

This past weekend we visited Shiloh National Military Park.  Here are a few photos taken during the driving tour around the park.

Curiosity

Recently I spotted this handsome little Lark Sparrow curiously peeking down at me from high atop a tree.  My camera and I were peeking back at him.
